About this campaign

Let's Go the Distance to Find a Cure for Childhood Cancer! Last year, more than 5,000 people joined us in our inaugural Million Mile
event to raise awareness of childhood cancer during the month of
September (National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month). This year we’re
getting ready to do it again! To find a cure for childhood cancer, we’re
going the distance – running, walking or biking one million miles.
That’s a long way, but the way we see it, a parent of a child with
cancer would go that far (and then some) to find a cure.

A special thanks to Hanes for donating a portion of the shirt cost to help this cause!

Alex’s Million Mile – Run.Walk.Ride is a month long event organized by
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation throughout September (it was named the
Million Mile Run in 2013, but we changed the name to incorporate
cycling miles this year). The goal is to collectively run, walk and/or
ride one million miles to raise funds and increase awareness of the need
to support childhood cancer research

Who can participate?Alex’s Million Mile –
Run.Walk.Ride is a collective effort of supporters across the globe.
Anyone can join and fight childhood cancer! You can run, walk, or bike
your miles, or do a combination, anytime during the month of September.

Do I have to do this myself?Nope, you can choose to participate individually or you can start or join a team for added fun and motivation.

How many miles do we have to complete?There is no requirement for the amount of miles you or your team (collectively) complete. Every step counts!

Why are you doing this?One million miles is 40
times around the equator or two round-trips to the moon. But it’s only
76 miles for each kid or adolescent who will be diagnosed with cancer
this year in the United States alone. Childhood cancer is the leading
cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United
States. That’s why it is vital that we raise money to cure it, now.

Booster has verified this organization as a legally registered charity. A verified charity, also known as a "501c3", is a charity that has received non-profit designation by the IRS.

Booster uses a database of registered 501c3 non-profits to verify status.
